Feb 5, 2008 Africa: Dramatic Anti-Malaria Results
New anti-malaria interventions, when applied together, can have
dramatic results, according to a new World Health Organization
study. The study reported declines in cases in children under five
of 60% in Ethiopia, 64% in Rwanda, 29% in Zambia, and 13% in Ghana,
between the period 2000-2005 and the year 2007. The greater impact
in Ethiopia and Rwanda was clearly associated with massive
campaigns of free distribution of long-lasting insecticidal-treated
bednets.
Nov 15, 2007 Horn of Africa: Mixed Signals on Border Conflict
The Security Council has called on Ethiopia and Eritrea to implement without delays or preconditions a 2002 border ruling, But observers warn that the conditions are ripe for a return to war.

But many critics say that the chances for war have been significantly increased by U.S. officials who have labeled Eritrea as a supporter of terrorism and failed to pressure Ethiopia to implement the binding arbitration decision of 2002.
Nov 6, 2005 Horn of Africa: War Clouds Gathering
The commander of the UN force on the disputed border between

has been in place. When pressed by a journalist to be more
explicit, General Singh stressed that urgent action was needed by the
Security Council to avoid the threat of a return to war.
